Both ships set sail for America around August 5, but the ""Speedwell"" sprang a leak shortly after, and the two ships were brought into Dartmouth for repairs. They made a new start after the repairs, and they were more than 200 miles (320 km) beyond Land's End at the southwestern tip of England"

After wintering at the Cape of Good Hope, the ship reached a latitude of five degrees south, northward of Madagascar in March 1703, and the Moluccas, ""about three degrees northwards of the line"" in April. From there the ship is driven by a storm ""about five hundred leagues to the east"" (this would place the ship still in Micronesia), after which the crew determine to ""hold on the same course rather than turn more northerly, which might have brought us to the north-west parts of Great Tartary"".

After ""many days"" at sea, they confronted a fearsome tempest (proposed to have occurred near Africa's horn). Thereafter, with enough fresh water and supplies stored on board, they crossed over to the Western Hemisphere along the shorter and more direct route between the Old World and the New World – assisted by the prevailing winds and equatorial currents of the Atlantic.

Shackleton named it Caird Coast, after his principal backer. Bad weather forced the ship to shelter in the lee of a stranded iceberg. They were now close to Luitpold Land, discovered by Filchner in 1912, at the southern end of which lay their destination, Vahsel Bay.

Again the voyage went well; she returned to Hobart and then Melbourne in March 1931. With her scientific and exploration work completed, MacKenzie sailed the ship back to London by way of Wellington and the Cape Horn arriving back in London’s East India Dock in August 1931. She was found to be in an excellent condition and undamaged. Subsequently MacKenzie was awarded the Polar Medal inscribed ""Antarctica 1929–1931"", by King George V at Buckingham Palace, London. The"

Tourists have been visiting Land’s End for over three hundred years. In 1649, an early visitor was the poet John Taylor, who was hoping to find subscribers for his new book ""Wanderings to see the Wonders of the West"".

The expedition, which had been renamed the British Arctic Expedition with the consensus of the participants, made several attempts to find a way northwards through the pack ice, Worsley harbouring hopes of being the first sailing ship to sail through the island group to Gillis Land and then back to Spitzbergen, but was unsuccessful. In one attempt, the ""Island"" nearly collided with a large iceberg, but Worsley ordered a rowboat to take to the water and the ship was towed out of harm's way. Finally, on 14 September, what was thought to be Gillis Land was spotted several miles"

Surmising again that he had encountered a continent, Biscoe named the area Graham Land, after First Lord of the Admiralty Sir James Graham. One source suggests John Biscoe had sighted Anvers Island rather than the Antarctic continent and another that the expedition made a landing there. Before heading homeward, Biscoe again began charting the new coastline the expedition had found and by the end of April 1832 he had become"
